It may be the fans spinning up and getting warm.
It might be the hard drive, but that should only be a few seconds, other than the 'chatter' as it is accessed to start the OS.
I would check the fans. Make sure that the cables are well clear. If it is a case fan or a power supply fan, then just make sure you can still hear it. Replace it when you don't hear it spin up. If it is the CPU fan then it is probably worth replacing now. Better to replace a questionable fan for <$30 than to fry your CPU at about $200.

New computers the mother board can control the CPU fan so when your CPU isn't doing anything it isn't producing much heat so the fan is quite or spinning at a low rpm.
When you turn on your computer a small chip takes control of it and runs a self test. It basically sends power to everything to see if its attached and working. It hasn't handed control over the motherboard yet and for the chip its all or nothing (on or off) only when the motherboard takes over does it check the speed of the CPU and adjust the fan accordingly

Dont bang the computing gadget lol, its no longer a television set. The buzzing noise is probable the fan on the cpu or the ability grant fan. be careful and open up the case and use a compressed air can to bathe the dirt and gunk out of the fan housing on the cpu and power grant ( make optimistic the computing gadget is off and unplugged of direction) you should wind up having to swap the fan, if its on the cpu you will ought to take it in to a working laptop or computing gadget save to get it replaced, if its interior the ability grant then youll ought to purchase a clean power grant and replace it.

Depending on the make and model, and on certain settings, it could be the fans, or it could be the CD drive.
Part of your POST will wake up the CD drive and cause it to spin all the way up. That in addition to the sound of your fans, etc., will cause you to wonder if there is a problem.
Try to get a feel with your machine for what a "normal" startup looks, feels, sounds, and acts like. That's normal. Work from there.

It could be the fan on the video card or the one from your power block. I recommend oiling the fans, or better - buy new ones.

That'd be the fans. Make sure they are dust free.
